This past weekend several high-level class of 2014 and 2015 recruits were in East Lansing to see the Spartans defeat Michigan in a rivalry game. Below are quotes from some of the players on campus:

WR Jamil Kamara of Bishop Sullivan High School in Virginia Beach Virginia

Kamara is a Rivals.com 4-star recruit and a top 250 prospect for 2014. He has over 20 scholarship offers and has narrowed his focus down to MSU, Wisconsin, Pittsburgh and Virginia. Kamara told Rivals.com recruiting analyst Adam Friedman the following:

“It was a great visit," said the 6-foot-1, 202-pound Kamara. "Even though it was short, I still had a good time. I got to do everything that I would have on a longer visit. It was a big rivalry and you could feel it. They were very happy that they won. I talked to Coach Dantonio and had a good conversation with him. We spent a good amount of time together. The other coaches told me a lot of good things too. I had a good time with the players there. They were pretty cool.”

OL George Brown of Winton Woods High School in Cincinnati, Ohio

The 6-foot-6, 253-pound Brown is one of the top recruits in the nation for the class of 2015. Brown already has over 30 scholarship offers from top programs from around the country. Brown told Rivals.com Analyst Josh Helmholdt the following:

"We actually got there after the first quarter had started," Brown said. "But we stayed after the game and got to go into the locker room. It was a great experience. I talked to coach (Mark) Dantonio, coach (Harlon) Barnett and the defensive line coach (Ron Burton). They said they were excited I got a chance to come to the game. They said they want me to come back and visit some more. Coach Barnett actually came to one of our games, and they like me a lot."

LB Reagan Williams of Jackson High school in Jackson, Ohio

The linebacker play at MSU is a big reason why the Spartans have the No. 1 defense in the nation. Williams, who will graduate in 2015, was impressed with what he saw in East Lansing from Max Bullough and company. The 6-foot-2, 235-pound prospect, who is a preseason 4-star recruit, spoke with Josh Helmholdt about his time on campus.

"It was probably one of the best visits I have been on," Williams said. "They got us up there early and it was pretty much an all-day thing. I got to tour the facilities and it was really nice how they put together the whole recruiting [presentation] there. The thing I really liked about their defense was their physicality and their strength really showed out there on the field.

The Spartans hosted over a 100 recruits on campus on Saturday to learn more about the program and see the game. Dantonio and his staff have certainly raised the bar when it comes to recruiting.
